If you are going to try a low compression ball, I would side with the Maxfli Tour Fire, and this is not because I use, love and always praise the ball. I think it is likely a big part of the reason I initially liked the ball, and why I think I like the ball so much that I would recommend the ball for what you mention. It is what Silver just mentioned in that it has a 75 compression rating.

I think for your swing speed you would be seriously limiting your ability by not using a 3 or 4 piece golf ball. From most that I have seen, low compression golf balls are usually fairly synonymous with 2 piece balls. I think the Tour Fire is one of the lowest compression 3 or 4 piece balls I have seen. Because I like lower compression and softer feeling golf balls, I really like the Tour Fire. Which I came to my conclusion prior to even knowing it was a lower compression ball.

Although to be real honest, logic would tell me that with you SS going to a lower compression ball may come at a loss of distance. Just based on my knowledge and experience with what I have tried while playing off both sides of the speed spectrum. I now would likely benefit from a 2 piece ball because my swing has slowed down and I don't know if I really benefit from a 3 piece ball. I do know that I play better with the Tour Fire than most of the 2 or 3 piece balls I have used. Also at the top of my list is the ProV1, and I despise the ProV1x which comes as little surprise to me because the Pro V1 has a fairly low compression rating for a 3 piece ball at around 80.

That being said, I am not sure it come as a serious detriment to your game, as many of the pros with similar swing speeds play the ball on the tour. However I would believe it would be a big mistake to go to a 2-piece ball for the sake of getting a lower compression ball. I think the design of a 3-4 piece would be more important than the compression rating. While the use of a lower compression ball may come at a loss of distance for someone with a high SS, that really only matters if you put a dividend on distance. Never heard research document what it would do for your consistency. So if you find a low compression ball, that is still 3 piece and you like it, I would say go for it, I know at least for my game the feel of the ball is tops in my book. I also know that based on experience, that even though the cover comes into play as well, the the feel I inherently like is mostly apparent in lower compression golf balls.
